Spotlighting Forgotten
SF Authors and Their Works
Much wonderful science fiction has been written for the last hundred
years or so, but the great majority of it has been forgotten or is no longer
read today. Fans, if they read any work written last century, usually limit
themselves to award winners. Maybe a few dig down for the slightly less
well-known works of their favorite one or two authors. Many academics consider the
science fiction genre as ephemeral, unworthy of study, and view the demise of
its authors’ works as proof. They're mistaken, of course. Any person with
imagination and insight into human nature can easily predict that in 2250, twentieth
century science fiction will still be read. Why? Science fiction engages the
imagination, pure and simple. Many of the older works of science fiction still make
for great reading, but have become forgotten. They are not lost! They only
await rediscovery.
Science Fiction Resurrection serves as a vehicle for recovering lost works
of science fiction. I hope this site becomes an indispensable source of news to
you, a way to rediscover authors and their works, a source you just can't find elsewhere.
Not only will you find book reviews here, but I do original research, write
bibliographies, literary biographies of authors, conduct analysis of genres and
subgenres, write essays that overview periods, look into obscure magazines, showcase
SF artists, SF authors, delve into other SF media. I may even
post audio interviews of living authors that I conduct. This website is the
vehicle for me to express my passion about science fiction’s glorious history.
So sit back, strap up, and read on!
